A spine board should be used whenever there is a
suspected injury to the spine. It is most commonly
used by Emergency Medical Service (EMS)
personnel when treating someone following a severe
fall or automobile accident that has caused a
possible spine injury. A spine board may also be used
by athletic trainers and other sports medicine
personnel to remove an athlete with a possible spine
injury from the field of play so that they may be
transported to a medical facility.
7. Splints
Splints are most commonly used to
immobilize broken bones or dislocated joints.
When a broken bone has been properly set, a
splint permits complete rest at the site of the
fracture and thus allows natural healing to
take place with the bone in the proper
position.

of canvas or other synthetic material
suspended between two poles or tubular
aluminum frame.
